Summary
To escape a marriage without affection, Song Ruoning pretends a fall into icy water has stolen her memory. Her famously distant husband responds by appearing at her door with a pillow—and claiming they have always shared a bed. Before she can untangle his sudden tenderness, the possessive cousin she once fled returns to the capital. Neither man intends to let her go. Yet beneath Ruoning’s careful smiles lies a past far darker than an unhappy marriage. As childhood memories and court intrigues close around her, winning someone’s love matters less than finding a way to claim her own life.
